Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are
Music and lyrics
“Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer than They Are” is a three part narrative, centred upon the seasons summer, winter and spring. According to the Allmusic, it draws “its inspiration from the singer often-tragic childhood. The lyrics portray a man who has overcome tragedies in his life yet still feels haunted by their memory.” BBC.co.uk also says that the song about a “melancholy middle-aged man reminiscing about his youth… is in many ways uncomfortably close to home, dealing as it does with episodes uncannily similar to events in his own life.” Steinman says that it was “the hardest song to write and get across.”
It’s a very passionate song. It’s really, I think maybe, the most passionate one on the record. I mean, I’m really proud of it because that’s really one that goes over-the-top in the sense that it’s got images – it has religious imagery of resurrection, it’s got images of fertility and rebirth, it has really very good sexual images, images of cars – which I always like.
